Cotswold, also known as "Pub Cheese," is the name given to this hearty cheese that combines Double Gloucester with flavorful bits of chive and onion. A harmonious blend of mellow, crumbly cheese and powerful vegetables, Cotswold is a terrific complement to the softer, milder flavors on your cheese board. In England, it is a notoriously popular pub cheese that is commonly served with hard-crusted bread and a strong, dark ale. Wonderful melted on grilled chicken or chops, and delicious atop burgers.

If you've never tried cotswold do yourself a favor. Semi-soft with bold onion and chive flavors stands up to full-bodied red wines and dark hoppy stouts or bold porters. A special complement to Bourbon barrel aged Belgian quads.

Great cheese and quick delivery!

Cotswold cheese is a great tasting cheese if you like a stronger flavorful cheese. It is very rich and you don't need too much at once. It's a great cheese to have at parties cut in small pieces. Highly recommend it! igourmet has quick delivery, too!

I Use It On Hamburgers

I love this cheese made into grilled cheese sandwiches on sourdough bread or on hamburgers.
It's good as a late afternoon snack with your favorite beverage.

Cotswold at its best

I've had this cheese many times before. It is one of my most favorites. Love it with Peppercorn Ranch.

Perfectly balanced pub cheese

This cheese was a lot fuller and sharper tasting than I expected, and I definitely mean that as a compliment. Many onion cheeses I've tried seem to really almost exclusively on the onions for their flavor, but Cotswold's Double Gloucester base easily stands up to the onions and chives and the flavors complement one another beautifully. I didn't get around to trying the cheese on sandwiches or meats (it went too fast!), but it did pair perfectly with both porter and stout. No wonder this is Britain's pub cheese of choice.

I can't get enough of Cotswold

This is one of my favorites. Sent it to family this year for Christmas gifts. A real winner.

Wonderful rich taste

The flavors of onion are not too strong to overwhelm the cheese but add a perfect balance and taste. Will get this one again!
